Beauty Product Reviews

I’m not entirely sure

So I am obsessed with all things The Ordinary! My skin lately has been going through it’s own version of “Dirty 30” basically hasn’t had more than a week of being clear in the last six months or so. So I got back on the skincare road and got this, the Vitamin F one, Azelic Acid, the AHA/BHA and the Toner.

And also the hyaluronic acid and also the retinol in squalane.

Anyway the one I have used day and night over everything else was The Buffet... today (Friday) woke up with something I have never ever experienced in my life. My entire face was covered in tiny little bumps. Almost as if it brought every old blackhed I have ever had in 30 years to the surface and then topped it off with a white head... yesterday my pores were shrinking and skin was healing up and was smooth and glowing. Today? Polar opposite.

I’d used this about a year or 1.5 years ago along with the Vitamin F serum and retinol and had wonderful results. Sometime between then and now though? My skin decided to be a POS and now I can’t love this one like I did.

Gonna give it another chance later but if the tiny millions of bumps pop back up, thennnn... I guess that is case closed for me:(

Update!

Still obsessing over his Primer 7-8 months later. Got my sister hooked on it too. Makes my skin just... Awwwwmygod. It's great. I've tried others since this one and no other Primer seems to work as well. So sad :( and now it's sold out and it sucks bc I am almost out of my container. Will be back again!

Way smaller than expected!

As most CoverFX products, it does an amazing job. But it's just so tiny! I was expecting somehing at least double the size. Like the Maybelline FirMe foundation stick. This is smaller than a Chapstick tube. However, it's basically completely full of product. So you do get a good amount in it!

Could be better

I like it. I do. But I think I would prefer it if I had more of a tan and didn't need foundation to begin with. It really is harder than most foundations I have used to blend in well. Not sure how long it lasted because I have mixed it with different foundations so it's hard to get a real read on its longevity. We will see though!

AMAZING!

Bought this primer on a whim and OMG I am so glad that I did!!! I buy high quality makeup, but no matter what I wore or how much I tried NOT to sweat, my makeup would get cakey and splotchy and just all around yucky looking after about 6 hours of work. Well, I got THIS primer and I was blown away. After a long day of work and hanging with family after and even longer(12-16 hours) my makeup still looked EXACTLY the same as it did when I applied it. Only better. Because this being hydrating, worked its magic on me over the day and my skin looked gorgeous. Glowing. Dewy. Not oily or sweaty. Just PRETTY! Everyone noticed it! I wish I'd bought two or three of these at once because now it's sold out and I am so sad!!!i never ever ever ever want to go without this again. Ever. Ever ever. Made my skin feel great. Look great. Foundation stayed longer applied better. The photo attached is of my face after six hours in an Un air conditioned indoor fruit stand in 100 degree heat. And I run hot to begin with. Been trying to find this primer else where to buy backups but have yet to find it :( I am seriously so impressed. For reference I have normal skin. Sometimes dry. Sometimes a zit or three ;) l This primer will do wonders for me this summer on my bridal clients! Can't wait. Thank you BeautyLish and Anna Sui for hanging my makeup game!
